N2 - From a technological point of view, ubiquitous computing is a specific case of distributed computing. However, while the textbook definition for a distributed system is (Tanenbaum and van Steen) "a collection of independent computers that appear to its users as a single coherent system."[1] Ubiquitous systems challenge this definition in various ways. First, some of those systems, wireless sensor networks, are collections of computers, each of which makes no sense as an independent computer.
